Nothing Is As Bleak As The Future,

I've Lived My Life Again Just Telling It To You.

Here Again, I Saw Life In All Its Noisy Excitement Passing Me By.

A Wounded Tiger Is A Dangerous Beast.

Yet Somehow The Thing That Startled Me Most, After A Week Or Two Had Passed, Was That I Had In Fact Survived.

What An Unbearable Sorrow It Would Be, To Realized I'd Never Really Tasted To Things I'd Eaten, Or Seen The Places I'd Been. What Life Would I Have? I Would Be Like The Dancer Who Had Practiced Since Childhood For A Performance She Would Never Give.
